It is important to determine what type of fault the hard drive has incurred. This applies to both internal and external hard disk drives.

There are typically 4 types of failures a hard disk drive can incur:

1. MECHANICAL FAILURE

Symptoms:

1. The hard drive may make a regular clicking noise when it is first powered on. This will last for approximately 20 seconds before the disk powers down. – Listen to an audio file of a hard disk drive with a mechanical fault

2. The hard drive may beep, or buzz when first powered on and will not spin up. – The drive will not be recognised by the computer. – Listen to an audio file of a hard disk drive with internal damage

Causes:

– The hard drive has been knocked: e.g. it may have been dropped, or if it’s in a laptop or notebook, it may have been bumped. – Mechanical failures are not exclusive to hard drives being knocked or bumped, hard drives can fail at any time – from old age, overheating or manufacturer defect.

2. LOGICAL

Failure Symptoms:

– Files and Folders will not open or have become inaccessible – Files and Folders will not copy correctly – often CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) errors will be reported – Files and or Folders may have been deleted or overwritten

Causes:

– Areas of the hard drive may not be readable due to the development of bad sectors. – Data structures on the hard drive may have been corrupted due to the disk not being ejected from the system correctly.

3. ELECTRONIC

Failure Symptoms:

– The drive will not spin when it is powered on – Sometimes the hard drive will get very hot – It will not be recognised by the computer

Causes:

– A power surge has caused damage to the drive – The wrong power cable has been plugged in.

4. FIRMWARE

Failure Symptoms:

– The drive will be recognised incorrectly by the computer – Often the capacity of the drive is also reported incorrectly

Causes:

– The firmware (or ‘microcode’) that runs the drive has become corrupted. Often this is a result of software errors that exist in the firmware.
